Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: April 27, 2004, 04:47:23 pm »
processor brand: AMD Athlon
processor speed: 900
amount of main memory: 512MB PC133
graphiccard brand: NVidia
graphiccard chip: GF2 MX400 AGP 2x
amount of memory on graphiccard: 32MB
operating system: Win98SE DX9 Nvidia 45.23 reference driver
net connection: 56k dialup shared from a linux box on my 100MB LAN
I start PS with this command from a batch file:
start psclient.exe -video=opengl

average fps: 10?
-on top of the tower looking at the city is about 4 FPS when standing still
-in low lag areas I can get a short time of about 40FPS
-when I get stuck in/on objects in the world I drop to as low as 0.1 FPS.
-I\'ve also dropped to 0.1 FPS when someone ELSE got stuck in a wall near me;  that seems like a strange cause/effect.
-sometimes the meter shows short times of +100FPS.

I notice that the lag spikes I get involve an FPS drop, a short HDD read and game engine lags in response for a short period of time.  In some rarer cases the FPS drops below 1, the HDD is more active and the net connection has a lot fo tx/rx, I usually have to walk or /spawn away from the area I\'m in when this happens.

I am posting this to hopefully help with your troubleshooting and understand that there are still bugs to work out so please don\'t take this as a complaint.
